Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 137 Double Betrayal ([-])

The Spartans are indeed worthy of their reputation. Killing Helltroopers is like strangling a chicken.

However, too many chickens can also threaten people. I still remember that a certain planet once reported news about fighting cocks killing human policemen. I was so happy at the time - but if I was really surrounded by "chickens", I would be afraid. Can't laugh at all.

The hell paratroopers who surrounded us from all directions forced us into a corner, and even the Spartans had to temporarily avoid the edge.I could see that the Colonel was perfectly capable of breaking through the siege on his own, but he had to stay in danger for our sake—or, more for Rebecca's sake.

At this moment, the little leader of this gang of traitors finally showed his true face.Guess who he is?

Lieutenant Loggins!Holy shit!

I've known for a long time that that guy's psychology has started to develop in a perverted direction since his face was burned by plasma, but I didn't expect that he would become so perverted that he wanted to kill us comrades for those shabby brands!
While the colonel was trying to buy time by blowing their heads off, I was trying to use my poor brain while observing the environment on the cruiser bridge and trying to think of some ways to break the stalemate.

The surrounding lighting was dim, with only the blue lines on the metal bulkhead shining.Thick, tall pillars supported a ramp that led to a raised platform - shit, these things were useless, maybe that's why I was a corporal and Kelvin was a sergeant.

There were only a few pressure doors that allowed us to leave the bridge. Before I could come up with an idea, several more rebel fire teams blocked our retreat.

At that time, I found that the escape cabin on the bridge was still usable. I wanted to pat Taote on the shoulder and tell him the "good news", but I found that he had gone somewhere and I couldn't even see him.We are good buddies from Camp No. 12 together, but it just happened that at this moment, that boy Toote disappeared.

The answer was soon revealed, and just as Colonel Price single-handedly took out the third fire team, Brant Taut showed up.

When we set our sights on him, he was already injured beyond recognition.He was shot in the shoulder, beaten to a bloody pulp, and his helmet was thrown away.Two rebels dragged him to the upper platform of the bridge and shouted a warning to us to cease fire immediately.

There is a rotating Covenant ladder connected to it. I guess the Covenant captain usually stands on it when giving orders to his men, but now it is used by the rebels to scare the monkeys.

Upon hearing the warning, the colonel immediately ceased fire and quickly led the three of us to find a more suitable bunker and discuss the next step.As an agent from the Military Intelligence Agency, I didn't expect him to be so soft-hearted.

Just as the colonel was formulating tactics, Major Silva appeared next to Taut. The muzzle of the M6D Magnum pistol in his hand was pressed directly against Taut's temple.

Good guy, another fucking movie villain type mastermind.

The three of us were shocked and speechless on the spot. Only the colonel remained unfazed. His gun-holding arm was like an emotionless machine, without any unnecessary movements.He signaled us with sign language to stay still and take cover, and we obediently obeyed.

"Surrender, freak!" shouted Silva.Taut struggled to turn his head, but was viciously pushed back by the rebels who dragged his arms. "Surrender immediately, or your comrades will die!" The rebels ate us to death, and they knew this.There is an arched pressure door behind this upper platform. The front of Silva is surrounded by the Covenant's vertical energy shield bunker, which is enough to thwart any attack. With the MA5B and M6D in our hands, it is impossible to Shoot through these energy barriers in a short time.

Rebecca's favorite thing to do on weekdays was to carry the M41 rocket launcher around. At that time, she carried it with her as a matter of course. The M41 can blow the upper platform, including Silva, to pieces, but doing so will also kill Taut.

Lying aside, Aurora's index finger against the trigger was trembling slightly. Although I couldn't see her face hidden behind the helmet, she must be extremely nervous now. After all, the person being held hostage above was someone she had been in a relationship with for several years. Experienced boyfriend.

Colonel Price's arm moved, and I guessed that he wanted to kill Silva together with Taut - this was the cold judgment that a military intelligence agent should have.

I'm sad about this, but I understand where the colonel is coming from.The Truth and Harmony has not yet taken off, and the Halo is about to explode. If this deadlock is not broken, we will all die in this hellish place.

But at this moment, Rebecca suddenly took the colonel's elbow and said, "Don't shoot, okay? We still have a chance."

To be honest, I almost cried when I heard Rebecca's almost pleading tone.In the short time I had been with the Colonel, I had never heard Rebecca speak to him in such a tone.She is usually very favored by the colonel and always speaks in a domineering manner, so I didn't expect that she cherishes her teammates so much.

The colonel hesitated for a moment, then nodded and lowered the gun slightly.He said to Rebecca in a very soft tone: "I will try my best."

At that moment, I almost felt that the colonel was pampering Rebecca too much.

I know the colonel doesn't want such a good guy to die in vain, at least he can't let him die without trying. But apart from the handful of people on the Truth and Harmony who participated in the rebellion, which UNSC personnel is not a good person?
On the surface of the halo, we have experienced so many ups and downs together. How can we let go of such a bond so easily?Because Taut alone exposed the entire ship to danger, this was simply the "trolley problem" of the new century.

When I was still struggling, a rough and crisp voice suddenly broke into our communication system, "Sgt. Avery Johnson called, I know there is a situation on your side, and Lieutenant McKay is coming. Reinforcements on the way.”

Hearing the voice of the black-skinned sergeant, I really felt like I was finally getting relief after a long drought.

"Roger, sergeant, did you see the video image I transmitted to you? Silva captured my man." The colonel didn't seem surprised at all by this "unexpected" reinforcement.

"Sir, my fire team has locked onto Silva's location." Johnson replied, "We are quietly outflanking the arched pressure door behind him, and no one has noticed us yet. .”

"Very good, how long until you arrive?" the colonel asked again.
